Lyrics

Can I believe you?
Can I believe you?
Can I
Ever know your mind?
Am I handing you mine?
Do we both confide?

I see it eat through every word I sow
See what you need to, do you doubt it’s yours
Now I’m learning the ropes
Never get this close
I’ve been wounded before
Hasn’t let me go

Can I believe you when you say I’m good?
I didn’t need to when I wished you would
No it isn’t enough
Never held that much
Now another way up
Been a row too rough

It never got less strange, showing anyone just a bare face
If I don’t, well, nothing will change
Staying under my weather all day

Lately I’m wondering too
What type of desire I can break
When I’m one way with them, one with you
What half is it of me rearranged?

Can I believe you?
Can I believe you?
I want to need you
I want to need you
Can I believe you?
Can I believe you?

[lellowranger]

This song is a fucking masterpiece. That subtle little bump in the timing signature really makes this song

[childintheivy]

As someone with a lot of trust issues, this song really resonates with me.

[JohnnyNowhere]

Do not ever allow anyone to tell you that amazing music died in the 70s. I was there, and now I am here. Holy shit. This is masterful.

[camaroness]

It's crazy how a song takes you to a time and place in your life. I listened to this song on an airplane to visit my friend and Boise Idaho. He died of cancer 8 hours before I landed to visit him. RIP Cary Benson. This song will forever remind me of you

[yashaswinijoshi]

Fleet Foxes and autumn- best combo ever!!

[wanbajamman]

Man, this song makes me strangely nostalgic and also hopeful for the future. Thanks for this.

[danicareaves]

When I listen to Fleet Foxes, it takes me to the place that other people must take drugs to get to

[fartzerelli]

This would surely make Brian Wilson smile and keeps us all hopeful for the future of good music.

[allisonhinson]

Best song off this album in my opinion. FF have done it again!

[NonaPaskemin]

As someone with ears, this is quite exquisite!

[studioMYTH]

This album could not have come at a more important time for me. I just started a huge new job and I'm trying to keep making music and being creative while I work 45 hours a week for less than minimum wage for the first time in my life... It's been so god damn hard to stay with it.... I really needed some new inspiring tunes and what do you know, new FF album. Thankfully I was able to purchase the vinyl for my collection as I would never miss a masterpiece like this. Thank you Robin, and thank you to everyone who made this music possible.

[Captanuki]

The call on Instagram for vocals and instrumentals felt so long ago, but its lovely pay-off is even more lovely than I anticipated.

[redhotchilifan]

Hard to find words to truly describe how good this band is.

[alfreddegrote]

I have listened this song 100 times today

[shinybeast]

What a beautiful suprise when I woke on Tuesday morning.

[slowmikespace]

I followed the process of birth of this song, Robin asking on instagram to send him snippets of the choirs made with voice or any instruments, then some stories with developing in studio. I already knew this would have been a masterpiece

[hxbrid.sxldier]

I want to add that if this song had come out years ago in my teenage-hood it would definitely have healed my soul back then

[kdaus]

This song reminds me of my struggles believing Jesus. I believe so many lies it’s hard to tell who’s telling the truth. It’s been a challenge to stay unmoved. I don’t have the ability within myself to do it. Jesus truly is the rock of foundation.

[acomatosemob]

Some sad individuals downvoting this song, hard to believe, it's beautiful.

[joeagger]

the production makes me feel like i'm floating... stunning
